“We are trying to have the report delivered tomorrow, but we still have some issues to be overcome by the morning,” Braga said in an interview with journalists at the Ministry of Finance, after meeting with the minister of the portfolio, Fernando Haddad.
The rapporteur did not mention the points to be resolved so as not to create “speculation”, but said that several issues have already been overcome.
